Quite simply, it is silly to think the D1 schools are running around handing out scolarships. If a prospect is interested in attending a certain school, making the coaches and school aware is extremely important. There are literally hundreds of thousands of kids in high school athletics, recruiters cannot logistically screen them all, and one thing that is impossible to ascertain from a high school record, is the desire to wrestle in college. If a kid wants to go somewhere he needs to make a pest of himself, the coach needs to see him enough before signing time.

Also evidenced by the fact that the LCC Cardinals are national champs , and Neosho and Colby had strong showings in the National tournament, is a testament in itself to the caliber of Kansas wrestling. Scoffing at community college wrestling is ignorance,,Rulon Gardner was a JuCo wrestler, and he was pretty good, pretty **** good.

Kids need guidance in properly approaching colleges, coaches and parents need to get on the ball and Kansas will be well represented, style has nothing to do with it.
